rebar
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
rebar is an Erlang build tool that makes it easy to compile and test Erlang
|
|
applications, port drivers and releases.
|
|
|
|
[](http://travis-ci.org/rebar/rebar)
|
|
|
|
rebar is a self-contained Erlang script, so it's easy to distribute or even
|
|
embed directly in a project. Where possible, rebar uses standard Erlang/OTP
|
|
conventions for project structures, thus minimizing the amount of build
|
|
configuration work. rebar also provides dependency management, enabling
|
|
application writers to easily re-use common libraries from a variety of
|
|
locations (git, hg, etc).

Building
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
Information on building and installing [Erlang/OTP](http://www.erlang.org) can
|
|
be found [here](https://github.com/erlang/otp/wiki/Installation) ([more
|
|
info](https://github.com/erlang/otp/blob/master/HOWTO/INSTALL.md)).
|
|
|
|
### Dependencies
|
|
|
|
To build rebar you will need a working installation of Erlang R13B03 (or later).
|
|
|
|
Should you want to clone the rebar repository, you will also require git.
|
|
|
|
#### Downloading
|
|
|
|
You can download a pre-built binary version of rebar from:
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/rebar/rebar/wiki/rebar
|
|
|
|
#### Building rebar
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ git clone git://github.com/rebar/rebar.git
|
|
$ cd rebar
|
|
$ ./bootstrap
|
|
Recompile: src/getopt
|
|
...
|
|
Recompile: src/rebar_utils
|
|
==> rebar (compile)
|
|
Congratulations! You now have a self-contained script called "rebar" in
|
|
your current working directory. Place this script anywhere in your path
|
|
and you can use rebar to build OTP-compliant apps.
|
|
```
